I have a lot of fallen trees on my property. Obviously I salvage what I can for firewood, but most of it is half rotten and not suitable for either firewood nor building.
I clean it up into piles in the fall and spring and burn it in the winter. And I made a hugelkultur mound that used some of it. But there’s sooo much, and I’d rather do something better than just burn it.
Any ideas?
I’ve thought about benches and stuff too lol. Also considered making a three sided enclosure for the compost pile out of logs, just stacked like Linkin logs. It would last a few years and then just turn into compost itself. Then I can add another layer of logs on the outside.
That’s a great idea too, we have a lot of random mounds because we mostly mulch by rotating where we dump horse stalls and the spring cleanup of the sheep/goat deep bedding. It’d be nice to keep them all from spreading downhill a bit better.
